I think my credit report still says I work at "DOMINOES" after like 5 years of not being there. It doesn't effect anything, but I get mild amusement out of it being misspelled on top of that.

No, it'd be like if we blockaded and bombed Mexico, then complained that their military isn't giving out food to the general population.

When you blockade supplies and infrastructure from an entire region of people, most of whom have done nothing wrong, then yes, food shortages are your fault.

In this case, I had a deal that had no penalties for early payoff, so in my case, paying off my car in 1/8 the time saved me 7 years of interest with no serious downside. Unless you count credit scores being BS and paying off loans early technically not being ideal credit management.

Leaving Reddit gave me the opposite of FOMO. I'm glad to not be fed as much algorithm-tailored BS as before. I still use YouTube, but most of my YouTube viewing is at least related to my other hobbies.

Speaking anecdotally here, I wonder if the banks are trying to push those super long loans, too. I bought my car last year, have excellent credit, and put 50% down. The only loan I was offered was an 8 year loan when I wanted 4. Out of sheer spite, I took advantage of the early payoff and paid it off as early as possible to deprive them of as much interest as possible, and it was much faster than the 4 years I asked for.

Also the average length of car ownership before buying something else is about 5 years, but the average loan duration for a new car is 7 years.

The car market in the US is just screwed.

We've had an answer since the Internet was created: don't let kids have unsupervised access to it.

Instead we give toddlers tablets before they can read.

It's inconsequential anyway. This bill was never really about kids in the first place.

I just have a different partition for /home. For snapshots, you could set a partition up as btrfs and use btrfs snapshots

So was Fallout New Vegas.

Though I would hesitate to count Fallout or Majora's Mask here because they were based on existing games, so the breadth of the work on things like mechanics had already been done, and they had the ability to re-use a lot of assets.

I don't know the extent of asset or code reuse for Vice City, so I can't really say if that should be counted the same or not.

Ask your doctor if Boromir is right for you.

Last week I stayed in a hotel for 3 days at a said and done price that was still about $100 cheaper than this 2 night Airbnb's base price, not even adding in their fees.
